Also known to Didsbury residents as The Old Cock, Ye olde Cock has ticked along nicely as a public house for decades. Other than a short period as a Loch Fyne fish restaurant, the pub has always sold a wide selection of ales, wines and pub grub.

The Woodstock is set back from the busy Barlow Moor Road in West Didsbury. Their bar is crammed with a huge selection of ales, lagers, bottles, wines and spirits and if you're lucky you may even find the odd board game or two. Two floors and plenty of seating, plus a beer garden.
